Federal Housing
Killed; Congress
In Final Week
Washington (UPD The
House, by a six-vote margin,
today killed a Democratic
sponsored billion-dollar hous
ing bill.
This raised the prospect
that Congress will adjourn
this week without providing
any new funds for city slum
clearance and urban renewal
projects.
The, bill, opposed as infla
tionary by the administration
and Republican congressional
leaders, was called up under
no-amendment rule which re
quired a two-thirds vote for
passage.
The vote was 251-134 in fa
vor of the bill, six votes shy
of the two-thirds majority
needed.
Democratic leaders warned
Republicans in advance of the
vote that it was the House's
last chance to vote on a hous
ing bill.
Sponsor of Bill
Rep. Albert M. Rains (D-
Ala.), sponsor of the Demo
cratic bill, said defeat of the
controversial bill would mean
that Congress, for the first
time since 1948, would ad
journ witnoui enacung new
housing legislation.
Republicans objected in
vain to ine no-amenoiueui
procedure. They charged that
Speaker Sam Rayburn sanc
tioned it to force the House to
vote the politically potent bill
up or down.
The defeated housing bill
contained administration - op
posed provisions to liberalize
down payment terms for FHA
housing, provide a new quasi'
tmvprnment corporation to
Drovide low down-payment fi
nancins for "conventional-
type mortgages," and launch
new federal lending programs
to build college classrooms
and low-rent housing for eld-
prlv Dersons. It would have
provided a one-year program
of $400 million for slum clear
ance and urban renewal.
The Senate meantime acted
on a number of uncontested
bills. '
$300,000 Planned
For Ff. Claisop
Washington (UPD Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.)
said the National Park Serv
ice has informed him that it
plans to spend at least $300,
000 developing the Fort Clat
sop National Memorial near
Astoria, Ore., during fiscal
year 1960 which starts Aug.
1, 1959.
The senator said Dr. Conrad
L. Wirth, director of the serv
ice, assured him that the
agency already is preparing
a budget request for that
amount.
Dr. Wirth also said he will
include in the next appropria
tion of the Park Service "ade
quate funds'' for the actual
operation of the fort as well.
Six Persons Die
In Accidents in
Stale on Week End
United Press International
Traffic accidents took the
lives of four Oregonians dur
ing the past week end and
two others died accidentally.
Robert M. Riley, 36-year-old
Eugene man, was killed early
Sunday when the prowl car
in which he was riding col
lided with another auto, cart
wheeled through the air and
snapped off a power pole some
12 feet from the ground,
throwing him from the car.
Riley was working as a mer
chant patrolman for the
Springfield city police at the
time. He was a nationally-
known inventor, and had de
veloped a mechanical duck
decoy that won nation-wide
acclaim.
A 51 -year -old Troutdale
man, Earl J. Heeb, was dead
on arrival at a Portland hos
pital early Sunday after a car
he was driving ran off the
road and overturned at Or
ient. A one-car crash on Highway
36 east of Florence took the
life of 22-year-old Harbara
Ann Mead Saturday as her car
struck the Wolf Creek bridge.
In northeast Portland Sat
urday, O. K. Sims, 50, of Port
land was fatally injured when
his car rammed into an over
pass abutment on the Banf ield

Mrs. Hawks Not Frightened While Lost
Shady Cove Mrs. Max
Hawks, 44, of Shady Cove,
had spent over 30 hours in
the rugged Huckleberry lake
area last Friday and Saturday
while search parties looked
for her, her daughter, Mrs.

explained today.
She had become lost when
she met a bear on the trail
leading back to the car, Mrs.
Stone said.
Mrs. Hawks went to the

huckleberries with Mrs. Ray
Briggs and Mrs. Dolf Larson,
also of Shady Cove.
Badly bruised and scratch

Cape Canaveral, Fla. (UPD !
The Air Force its first moon

tentative, plans- today to try
again in four weeks to fire
a rocket around the moon.
There was speculation Rus
sia might make a similar at
tempt several days in advance
of the second U.S. effort.
. Meanwhile, the Army was
reported ' ready to shoot for
the moon.
Disintegration of the U.S.
rocket after it had traveled
less than 10 miles of its pro
jected 220,000-mile journey
into space Sunday was cited
by Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas
as a "grim warning" to Ameri
cans this country is behind
Russia in missile development.
But most officials stressed
there had been little expecta
tion of success in this nation's
first effort to probe the mys
teries of the moon at close
range. They maintained the
failure was not significant.
European newspapers,
meanwhile, expressed disap
pointment at the U.S. failure.
But most expressed confi
dence the U.S. would succeed
in the near future. Commu
nist nations, as expected, pok

a venture which had little
hope of success.

Coolest Day '
Of Month Noted
Yesterday, with scattered
precipitation, was the coolest
day so far this month for the
Medford vicinity but the
humid 83-degree temperature
offered little respite to the
current hot dry spell in the
Rogue river valley.
Mercury at the U.S. weath
er bureau station at the Med
ford municipal airport was
expected to rise to 90 degrees
this afternoon and a maxi
mum of 95 is forecast for
Tuesday.
The 83 reading yesterday
marked only the second time
this month that the high tem
perature here has dropped
below 90 degrees. Second low
est maximum was 86 on Aug.
3.
There were showers of
varying intensity around
southern Oregon yesterday al
though on a trace of precipi
tation was reported at the air
port weather station. At the
southwest district office of
the state department of for
estry, not far away on Table
Rock rd., .03 of an inch of
rain was recorded. Scattered
rain was reported over south
ern Oregon forests. Rainfall
was .02 of an inch at Grants
Pass and .03 at Klamath Falls.
Only other rain in the Med
ford vicinity this month was
a trace on Aug. 2. Last mea
surable rainfall at the Med
ford airport was .62 on July
17.
Low humidity reading at
the weather station yesterday
was 43 per cent after register
ing in the 20 per cents last
week. Humidity was dropping
below the 43 figure today.
eaten nothing during her or
deal and suffered bruises from
two falls one from 25 feet
and another from 20 feet, the
daughter said. Mrs. Stone
first learned her mother was
lost through a radio report
and she came to the family
home at Shady Cove.
Though the bear made no
attempt to harm Mrs. Hawks,
it was in her attempt, to cir
cle the animal that she be
came lost. She picked a gal
lon of huckleberries and start
ed to tire. She then decided
to return to the car to await
the other pickers, the daugh
ter explained. Her Mother es
timated that this was about
2 p.m.
She was fotind about 8:30
p.m. Saturday. Searchers car
ried her out of the forest on
a stretcher early. Sunday.
Some 150 persons, including
sion of the rocket Able I that
the Air Force probably also
would get the next moon
chance. It cannot be attempt
ed before Sept. 14 when the
moon's perigee again brings
it relatively close to the earth.
Because bf the moon's posi
tion, Russia could make an
attempt a day or so earlier.
The Air, Force had three
moon shoots assigned and the
Army two.
A completely successful
flight would have given the
earth its first crude pictures
of the moon's eternally-hidden
dark side.
This picture would have
been reconstructed by scien
tists from radioed data from
a television-like "scanning de
vice" in the moon satellite.
Convention Plans
Progressing; To
Name Candidate
Plans for a nominating con
vention Thursday to name a
candidate for Jackson county
district judge are progressing,
it was reported today.
A telephone committee,
composed of members of the
Jackson County Bar associa
tion, will begin functioning
this week in an attempt to
obtain sufficient attendance
at the convention to name a
candidate. A minimum of 250
persons is needed to nominate.
The convention is sched
uled for 8 p.m. Thursday,
Aug. 21, in the Esquire
theater.
Meanwhile,, three persons
have been discussed as pos
sible candidates, according to
Bar association spokesmen.
(The candidate must be a law
yer, under state law.) They
include Gerald J. Scannell
and James Anicker, both
deputy district attorneys, and
O. Hilding Bengtson, former
state representative and a fre
quent candidate for elective
office in the county.
The convention is sponsored
by a group of attorneys and
others who are concerned that
there should be a nominee for
the office, regardless of the
outcome of current legal pro
ceedings involving ' the two
candidates who ran for the
nomination in the May pri
mary election.
Bashaw and Danielson
Those candidates are E. Roy
Bashaw, Medford city attor
ney, and Robert G. Danielson,
formerly of Ashland. Daniel
son received the most votes,
but his eligibility as a candi
date has been challenged on
the grounds of his moving
from the county prior to the
election.
Last Friday, Circuit Judge
Edward C. Kelly enjoined the
county clerk from placing any
name on the ballot, pending
the outcome of legal proceed
ings in two cases. These in
clude a request by Bashaw's
attorneys for 'a declaratory
judgment naming him the
candidate, and a citizen's suit
which, in effect, seeks the
same outcome.
A convention nominee
would appear on the ballot if
neither Bashaw nor Danielson
are found eligible.'
state police, .volunteers, forest
service personnel and sheriffs
deputies, took part in the
search.
After she realized that she
was lost, Mrs. Hawks decided
to follow Days creek. When
she was found she was on
Dunnigan creek. She had wan
dered an estimated eight sec
tions of land and had crossed
the Jackson county line into
Douglas county.
She was found by a deputy
sheriff and his posse from
Roseburg rather than by
bloodhounds, accordingto
first reports. The men went
down to the creek to get a
drink of water and had not
expected to find the woman
there when they saw foot
prints beside the creek. In one
place, Mrs. Hawks had cross

AFL-CIO Executive
Council Cancels
Pacts With Hoffa
Unity House, Pa. (UPD The
AFL-CIO Executive council
today slapped hard at James
R. Hoffa's teamsters by can
cellation of all pacts between
AFL-CIO affiliates and the
union.
Federation President George
Meany said the crack-down
would bar participation by
AFL-CIO unions in Hoffa's
plan for an alliance of land-sea-air
transportation unions.
Except for AFL-CIO Vice
President Joe Curran of the
National Maritime Union, the
council voted' unanimously to
order termination of the pacts.
Meany said Curran agreed to
abide by the majority's wishes.
Barred Under policy
Meany said even "gentle
men's agreements" would be
barred under the AFL-CIO's
new policy. While enforce
ment of its directive was not
discussed, Meany said he ex
pected compliance from the
affected unions.
The AFL-CIO chief was in
a jovial mood as he reported
adoption of his get-tough pro
posal by his "cabinet" on the
first day of a four-day session
at this union-run resort in the
Poconos.
United Auto Workers Presi
dent Walter Reuther swung

Three Nations Submit
Mid-East Proposal
United Nations, N.Y. (UPD
Norway, Columbia and
Canada today proposed a res
olution for U.N. General As
sembly consideration asking
Dag Hammarskjold to take
steps to settle the Middle East
situation.
The draft resolution would
empower Secretary-General
Hammarskjold to go personal
ly to the Midle East on anoth
er of his "quiet diplomacy"
peace missions, informed dip
lomats said.
The three-power measure
was expected to be mare pub
lic officially later today.
Qualified diplomats said it
would be possible for the as
sembly's emergency session-to
vote on the resolution by
Thursday and for Hammar
skjold to be in the turbulent
Middle East by this week end.
The resolution, designed to
make possible the withdrawal
of American and British
forces from Lebanon and Pal
estine, calls upon Hammar
skjold to conduct a study for
the establishment of a U.N.
peace force.
Economic Program
It also would allow him to
begin negotiations on the set
ting up of an Arab develop
ment institution in a Middle
East do-it-yourself economic
program as suggested by Pres
ident Eisenhower.
Norwegian Deputy Foreign,
Minister Hans Engen did most
of the negotiating work on the
measure. A stiffening attitude
by the U.S. against having the
Eisenhower plan watered
down too far cost Engen the
support of several sponsors. 1
One Eisenhower proposal
was for measures to end prop
aganda warfare by radio and
for setting up a clearing house
for complaints of such activi
ties. This was stricken en
tirely from the measure.
India refused to accept any
reference to Eisenhower's
proposal for a stand-by peace
force, and Moscow Radio as
serted today it would oppose
such a force. The Indians also
had other objections to ' the
Norwegian draft and were re
ported pushing their own
ideas for a separate resolu
tion. Council Tours
Dispute Scenes
Mayor John W. Snider,
members of the city council
and other city officials visited
Friday the scenes of two cur
rent disputes involving Med
ford citizens.
At Medford airport, they
inspected the site of a pro
posed relocation of the Avis
car rental desk in the lobby.
James H. Daily, Hertz agent,
protested the shift at the Aug.
7 council meeting.
Observers reported that
council members gave consid-,
eration during the inspection
to an alternative location for
the Avis desk. The original
plan called for placing Avis
across the aisle from Hertz.
The alternative would place
Avis beside its competitor.
The official party then visit
ed Speedway Auto Parts, 1395
Hilton xd. A petition bearing
128 signatures was filed with
the council Aug. 7 requesting
that it not renew approval
of Speedway's operation. The
petition charged Speedway
with being unsightly, causing
smoke and odors and prevent
ing development of property
in the area.
Speedway has denied the
charges.
Beirut, Lebanon (UPD The
government sealed off an en
tire business area in the heart
of Beirut today and placed it
